'To My Mother."
The following is not new and It has been many
times published, but it will bear republication fre
quently. The lines were written by a convict In
the Ohio penitentiary:
Fve wanderM far from thee, mother,
Far from my happy home;
Tv left the land that gave my birth,
In other climes to roam;
And time, since then, has roll'd Its years
And mark'd them on my brow;
Yet, I have often thought of thee
I'm thinking of thee now.
I'm thinking on the day mother,
When, at thy tender side,
You watched the dawning of my youth,
And kiss'd me in your pride;
Then brightly was my heart lit up
With hopes of future joy,
While your bright fancy honors wove
To deck thy darling boy.
I'm thinking of the day, mother,
When, with such anxious care.
You lifted up your heart to Heaven
Your hope, your trust was there :
Fond memory brings thy parting words,
While tears rolled down your eheek;
Thy long, last, loving look told more
Than ever words could speak.
I'm far away from thee, mother;
No friend Is near me now,
To soothe me with a tender word
Or cool my burning brow;
The dearest ties affection wove
Are all now torn from me;
They left me when the trouble came :
They did not love like thee.
I'm lonely and forsaken now,
UnpiQed and unblest;
Yet still I would not have thee know
How sorely I'm distressed.
I know you would not chide, mother,
You would not give me blame;
But soothe me with your tender words,
And bid me hope again.
I would not have thee know, mother,
How brightest hopes decay;
The tempter with his baleful cup
Has dash'd them all away;
And shame has left Its venom sting.
To rack with anguish wild
Yet, still I would not have thee know
The sorrows of thy child.
Oh! I have wonder'd far, mother,
Since I deserted thee,
And left thy trusting heart to break,
Beyond the deep blue sea.
Oh! mother, still I love thee well,
And long to hear thee speak,
And feel again thy balmy breath
Upon my careworn cheek.
But, ah! there Is a thought, mother,
Prevades my beating breast,
That thy freed spirit may have flown
To its eternal rest;
And while I wite the tear away,
There whispers in my ear
A voice, that speaks of heaven and thee,
And bids me seek thee there.

Souvenir ot the Exposition by "Cham": Small
gentleman appears In huge hat, which engulfs him
to his shoulders. His wife: "But that hat doesn't
fit you, my love." He: "Thats what I told the
man, but he showed me his gold medal, the only
once awarded for hats; and what else could I
do?"

Spotted Tall, the celebrated Sioux, was In coun
cil with his braves the other week. During the ses
sion he told the Indians that no honest men were
now to be found; that a perfectly honest person
had growing from the palm of his hand a tuft of
hair. The Indians looked Incredulous, but Spotted
Tall gravely assured them that such was the case;
that from his own palm a tuft of hair once sprung,
but that he had wore it all off by shaking hands
with white people.
Too Many Leaders and Too Little Courage.
Louisville Courler-JoumaL
It is an old saying that an army of
sheep led by a lion is capable of doing
more effective service than an army oi
lions led by a sheep. Perhaps an army
of lions with no leader at all is worst of
all ; and this seems to be the situation
of the Democratic majority in the
present House of llepresentatives.
There are too many lions. If one
offers to lead, the rest straightway pro
ceed to put hittfdewn. ..Thus, nosooner
did Mr. Fernando Wood venture to
criticise the President's message, which
ne did exceedingly weiL than it began
to be bruited about that he was guilty
oi an indiscretion ; and, even since, a
reluctance to pass a very judicious reso
lution of his has shown itself. Now, by
his right of Chairmanship of the Ways
and Means Committee, Mr. Wood is the
official leader of the House. But he by
no means holds this as his sole baton of
command. His term of service in Con
gress ante-dates that of any of his col
leagues. He is in the prime of a vigor
ous intellect and varied experience,
which, whenever they have been tried,
have shown themselves sufficient. He
is a gentleman of character and dignity
as well as ot ability, and tnere is no
reason why he should not take the lead
and hold it, except that, if St Paul him
self should come to life again and enter
that bear garden as a representative at
large from Paradise, he- could not get a
following from the Democrats, each
one of whom expects to be President of
the United States, and worse still
each of whom is the happy possessor of
a "theory," warranted to cure every
financial ill, at least, of which the
country complains.
Home for Chrisfma?.
LCharleston News & Courier, 19th.
The streets were enlivened yesterday
by the presence of several hundred
colored people, all wen uressea, aoie
bodied men. They arrived from Flori
da, on the steamer St. John's, and are
on their way to their homes in North
Carolina and Virginia, to spena tneir
Christmas with their relatives and
friends. Accompanying them are a
number of white men from Virginia,
who came from the same place, and
who have been engaged in turpentine
farming, in Nassau County, Florida.
The, farms are rim by John D. Jones
&nd)W. H. Jones & Co of Virginia,
who every year bring down from North
Carolina and Virginia several hundred
colored men, paying them from $175 to
0200 a year, with provisions, &c.
Work has been stopped on these farms
until January 15th, and the hands are
now on their way home ith pockets
full of money and light hearts. Most
of them wore fancy colored ribbons on
their hats, all were well dressed and
orderly, and seemed contented.- During
the day they stood around on the sunny
side of the streets, or went out to hunt
for Christmas presents. The entire
party left on the Northeastern Railroad
train last night

The Board of the State Canvassers.
Raleigh Observer, 18th.
The board met yesterday at 11 o'clock,
pursuant to adjournment in the Hall of
the House of Representatives for the
purpose of proceeding with the count
in the seeond district
Present The Governor, Secretary of
State, the Attorney-General, Senator
Waddell and Senator Everett
Mr. Kitchin was present represented
by Judge Fowle, Fab H. Busbee and R.
H. Battle, of counsel; and CHara was
also in the Hall with his counsel Messrs.
Gilliam and Gattling.
The Governor inquired if there were
any more injunctions.
The count was then begun. When
Craven county was called, Mr. Gatling
asked if any further returns had been
sent up from Edgecombe. TheSecretary
of State replied that there had not been.
Then said, Mr. Gatling, we wish to
make the following motion:
That the board adjourn to the 20th of
February, at which time they would
have submitted to them full returns of
the election held on the 5th of Novem
ber, in'the second congressional district,
for a member to the 46th United States
Congress.
Mr. Gatling said that his client had
appealed to the courts for the enforce
ment of his rights and had done every
thing in his power to have the returns,
the only true return, sent up promptly.
O'Hara file and affidavit, which was
read, setting forth :
That complete returns from Halifax
and Edgecombe would show that he
was elected to the forty-six Congress ;
that the returns from Caledonia town
ship were in the possession of one John
T. Brinkley, who he was informed
avoided service of the mandamus by
the sheriff and withheld these returns
from the county canvassing board.
That the county canvassers of both
these counties failed to obey the man
date of Judge Seymour to meet on Mon
day the 16th and canvass the returns
rejected by them on the 7th of Novem
ber, and asked a delay in canvassing
the returns until all should be made
under the judgment of the Courts,
which' now had these matters under
consideration.
He asked an adjournment until the
appeal prayed by the canvassing boards
from the order of Judge Seymour
should be heard by the Supreme Court
Mr. Gatling then argued the . power
and discretion of the boards to adjourn
for more than twenty days, claiming
that the time was merely directory and
not mandatory, and that the "board
should not fail of its duty on account of
any difficulty of fact
Mr. Battle said that he was prepared
to controvert by affidavit if necessary
some of the facts stated in O'Hara's
affidavit; that he was informed Mr.
Brinkly was shingle getting in North
ampton countyand had had no conver
sation with Mr. Kitchin since the
decision by Judge Seymour, and was
not privy to any hiding out This is
not a question of fact but is a question
of law.
Judge Fowle desired to submit a
statement for Mr. Kitchin to relieve a
gentleman of a grave charge made
against him, in the affidavit ot O'Hara.
There was no confederation on the part
of Mr. Brinkley and Capt Kitchin's
friends, to keep out of the way, but a
confederation of others to keep in the
way, in order to submit to a speedy
summons, and organize an immediate
assemblage. The question is however
purely a legal one.
Mr. Busbee feared that the learned
counsel had forgot that the board Was
purely ministerial, and had almost
vested it with judicial powers. If the
adjournmen t asked for were granted,
there was no end to the chain of con
tingencies that would have to happen
before a result could be reached. The
limit of adjournment when reached
would leave you functus officio.
Mr. Gilliam. We lost many days in
this matter through the patient con
sideration of Judge Seymour. As re
gards the power of adjournment it is
sustained by the Supreme Courts of at
least six States. The Supreme Court
has decided that the Board -ot Commis
sioners of a county having failed to
count the full returns, could be com
pelled to reconvene and make the
eounfc- It is the purpose of the law that
this board should assertain who has
been really elected who has received
the majority of the votes of the electors
of the district; and we only ask now
that the board-shall take further time
to arrive at that decision, and until
after proper decisions shall have been
had from higher tribunals, We want
to get at the returns of election which
are in the possession of Brinkley, who
'was not served with the mandamns
issued by Judge Seymour. It appears
that certain returns have been with
held from this Board. The questions
raised will be decided by the Supreme
Court during the sixth week perhaps
before, in view of the exigency of the
case. We ask that this board adjourn
until that time. We believe conscien
tiously that our client has been legally
elected, and we believe that no man is
better assured of the fact than the gen
tleman who claims the commission.
The board then took a recess of fif--teen
minutes for consultation, at the
expiration of which time, having
reconvened, the President announced
the unanimous determination of the
board to proceed with the count of the
vote from the second district.
Mr. Everett explained his vote at
some length.

votes, all in Warren. There were 28
votes scattering.
Before adjourning, the board passed
a resolution directing the secretary to
write to the solicitors and request them
to institute proceedings against the can
vassing boards in the counties of Ashe,
Madison and Burke, for failure to send
abstracts of the votes at the election
for members of the 46th Congress. No
returns from the proper officers were
raceived from these counties, and we
learn that Ashe county sent in no
returns of the Angust election.
The board then adjourned sine dir.

Tbe Prospect ot the Tobacco Tax Reduction.
rWashlngton Special to Richmond Dispatch, 18th.
After a careful investigation, it looks
to-day to me as if the Senate is in favor
of reducing the tobacco tax if the com
mittee will only report the bill, so that
action may be taken upon it without
further belay. Democratic senators who
a few weeks ago were doubtful I find
now warmly on our side : and I ascer
tained last night that a Republican sen-J
ator, who is even no w.,couatea -against
reduction, is for it. Our friends are all
more hopeful to-day, and it is clear that
the Lorillards believe the bill will pass
the Senate. Chairman Morrill to-day
again assured Senator Withers that the
committee will report as speedily .as
possible. All our friends Wish the to
bacco bill was separated from the long
revenue bill so that there could be no
reasonable pretext for delay in report j

The Average Experience in Sheep Husbandry.
. . Raleigh Farmer and Mechanic.
WmL Grimes, Esq., 6 much pleased
with his Norman-Percheon stud colt,
which he purchased from S. W. Fick
lin's Virginia stock farm. He thinks
this class of stock the very best kind for
North Carolina work horses. Mr.
Grimes has some thought of establish
ing a stock farm on his plantation. :But
he wont try to raise sheep ; not this side
of the passage of a dog law, at any rate
You see, he has experience ! He bought
a fine flock one or two years ago, and
gave them great care, until one Sunday
while the negroes were at church, the
dogs made an evening call and slaugh
tered all but 28 of the gentle bleatersl
The experiment was then abandoned;
the 28 survivors were allowed to run on
the farm until one solitary mutton re-

yEGETINX,
WILL CURE RHEUMATISM.;
Mr. Albert Crooker, the well-known druggist and
Apothecary, of Sprlngvale, Me., always advises
every one troubled with Rheumatism to try VEGE
TINE. READ HIS STATEMENT:
Sprlngvale, Me., Oct 12, 1 876.
Mr. H. R. Stevens:
- Dear Sir Fifteen years ago last fall I was taken
sick with rheumatism, was unable to move until
the next April. From that time until three yean
ago this fall I suffered everything withxheumatism.
Sometimes there would be weeks at a time that I
could not step one step; these attacks were quite
often. I suffered everything that a man could.
Over three years ago last spring I commenced tak
ing VEGETINE and followed it up until I bad tak
en seven bottles; have had no rheumatism since
that time. I always advise every one that is trou
bled with rheumatism to try VEGETINE, and not
suffer for years as I have done. This statement is
gratuitous as far as Mr. Stevens is concerned! ;

VEGETINE
HAS ENTIRELY CURED ME.
Boston, Oct., 1876.
Mr. H. R. Stevens: Al -
Dear Sir My daughter, after having a severe at
tack of Whooping, Cough, was left In a feeble state
of health. Being advised by a friend she tried the
VEGETINE, and after using a few bottles was ful
ly restored to health, i
I have been a great sufferer from Rheumatism.
I have taken several Lotties of the VEGETINE for
this comolalat and am happy to say it has entirely
cured me. I have recommended the VEGETINE ,
to others with tbe same good results.! it is a great
cleanser and partner of the blood; it Is pleasant to
take and I can cheerfully recommend it
JAMES MORSE, 364 Athens street
RHEUMATISM IS A DISEASE OF THE BLOOD.
The blood in this d'sease Is found to contain an
excess of nbrim. VEGETINE acts by converting
the blood from its diseased condition to a healthy
circulation. VEGETINE regulates the bowels
which is very important in this complaint One
bottle of Vegetlne will give relief; but to effect a
permanent cure, it must be taken regularly, and
may take several bottles, especially in cases of
long standing. Vegetlne is sold by all Druggists. '
Try it and your verdict will be the same as that oi
thousands before you, who say, "I never found so
much relief as from tbe use of Vegetlne," which is
composed exclusively of barks, roots and herbs.
"VEGETINE," says a Boston physician,-"has no
equal as a blood partner. ; Hearing of . its many
wonderful cures, after other remedies had failed,!
visited the laboratory and convinced myself of Its
genuine merit It i is prepared from- barks, wots
and herbs, each of which is highly effective; and
they are compounded hi such a manner as to
produoe astonishing results." ' ' '
VEGETINE , ,
NOTHING EQUAL TO IT.

Mr. H. R, Stevens: ,, , ,. :. .
Dear Sir I have been troubled with Scrofula,
Cancer and Liver Complaint for three year Noth
ing ever did. me any good until I commenced using
Vegetlne. I am now getting along first-rate, ana
